Florivory by the occupants of phytotelmata in flower parts can decrease host plant fecundity. [PDF]
Curr Zool, 2022 Some types of plant accumulate liquid in their inflorescences creating phytotelmata. These environments protect the flowers against florivory, although they may be colonized by aquatic or semi-aquatic florivorous insect larvae, whose effects on the ...

NEW OCCURRENCES OF PHYTOTELMATA-INHABITING MOSQUITOES SPECIES IN NORTHWESTERN ARGENTINA.
Journal of the American Mosquito Control AssociationThe potential risk areas for emerging or reemerging diseases are determined by the presence, abundance, and distribution of mosquitoes. Here new records and geographical distribution extension of mosquito species in phytotelmata are updated for Argentina.

Mosquito community structure in phytotelmata from a South American temperate wetland [PDF]
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2011 Phytotelmata, or plant-held waters, are considered to be good model systems for the study of community ecology. The fauna of these natural container habitats, particularly the mosquitoes, have been extensively investigated in tropical regions, but there ...

Influence of environmental and morphological parameters on the microfauna community present in phytotelmata of a bromeliad in a fragment of Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 2021 Bromeliads are important epiphytes due to their abundance in the Neotropical region and morphological complexity. Their compact and imbricated leaf bases form water storage cisterns that promote important resources for colonization by several prokaryotic

Pool choice in a vertical landscape: Tadpole‐rearing site flexibility in phytotelm‐breeding frogs [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many species of Neotropical frogs have evolved to deposit their tadpoles in small water bodies inside plant structures called phytotelmata. These pools are small enough to exclude large predators but have limited nutrients and high desiccation risk. Here,
